Sweet watermelon, plump berries, and fragrant mint combine with rich feta cheese for a salad combination you will dream about! You’ll love my Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad Recipe.
Hi friends!
Happy almost 4th of July! I decided to share Wednesday's post a day early this week with the big holiday coming up tomorrow... especially since I have a recipe that I know will be pretty darn fabulous in your holiday spread. My Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad recipe is so perfectly delicious and patriotic. Doesn't it just look like a 4th of July picnic in a bowl? The secret is it's so good and easy to make that you'll be whipping it up for all your other summer parties as well.
Why You'll Love this Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad recipe...
This recipe is so simple and delicious. You just put all the fruit in a bowl and top with a very light honey lemon dressing. Or just drizzle some plain lime on top. I included directions to do both in the recipe and either way it tastes amazing.
My Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad recipe is hand down a hit anytime I serve it and would be the star of any summer party. It is perfectly red, white and blue festive for the 4th of July, Memorial Day or Labor Day. Heck... it's pretty awesome on a random Tuesday night.
There is something magical about the summery red bites of watermelon, sweet bursts of blueberry, creamy feta and fragrant mint that come together like a match in foodie heaven. If you haven't tried the watermelon-feta combo yet or the watermelon-mint combo yet stop what you are doing right now and try this. It's no short of life-changing.
I have a huge mint plant I grow each year and love pulling off perfectly green leaves just for this Watermelon Feta Blueberry Salad recipe.
Plus it’s an excuse to eat even more watermelon before it’s gone for the season! Don't mind me, if I end up in the corner of the party eating the entire thing 🙂
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm telling you this Watermelon Feta Blueberry Sald recipe will be the STAR of your next cookout. Don't be surprised if the entire batch disappears.

Dennis Littley says
What a delicious combination of flavors. It was a big hit with my family!
Juyali says
Three of my favorite ingredients! The fresh fruits were so refreshing, as expected. It was so delicious! Sweet, refreshing, and savory. Yum.
Gloria says
Such a healthy and refreshing salad for the summer. I love all the fruit in this recipe. Makes eating healthy so easy.
Marta says
This looks like the perfect recipe to serve at our Memorial Day BBQ. I can't wait to wow my family and friends with it.
Bonita says
I added small pieces of cucumber (no seeds) in with watermelon, blueberries and basil, tossed in balsamic and let this sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Crumbled feta from a block of feta (more flavorful) just before serving. Bit was delicious and hit the spot in this heat!
Donna Nygaard says
We had had a salad similar to this that our daughter made for our barbecue, but this one we both really loved. The mint just gave it that extra flavour boost. I just used the lime juice as dressing.
Megan says
This is a delicious summertime staple! My family loves it and it’s perfect for picnics and gatherings!
Jamie says
Looking for feta cheese salads for starting keto diet, now I gotta see if water melon is OK! This Keto diet looks a pain in the ass lol
Wendy says
Looks wonderful!!! I love the combination. Feta is good with everything.
Annmarie says
So yummy and so easy to make!!! Perfect for a patriotic picnic!
Lisa Ballantyne says
This looks amazing, and so perfect for the hot summer days ahead! Thank you for sharing! Here's to a happy and safe 4th for you, your hubby and the lovely Miss Makena Rose!
Chris says
It says to combine ingredients and serve immediately. Do you think this can be made and put together ahead of time, if it sits in the fridge?
JulieWunder says
Hi Chris! I'd just cut up the fruit, mix the dressing in a separate sealed container. Then you can just toss it at the last minute and top with the cheese! I'm sure you can mix it before, but I'd be afraid it would get too soggy!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
oh my sweet lord this looks amazing! I just adore all things feta, and well watermelon is my fav!! I don't know why I've never put blueberries with my watermelon salad, that's gotta change!!
JulieWunder says
Totally! It just amps it up a bit!
dixya | food, pleasure, and health says

I just had my first watermelon and feta as an appetizer at dinner last week. They drizzled it with a balsamic reduction and OMG. This looks just as delicious though!
JulieWunder says
OMG.... balsamic..... 🙂
Gina Tinoco says
I made this for a BBQ for the 4th of July and it was almost gone at the end of our meal. This is so delicious. I added honey to the dressing. I can't wait to make this again. It's Delicious

I'm in denial about summer as well, which is why next week's theme is on smoothie bowls, ahaha. ._. (At least fall foods are delicious too!?) This salad looks delicious! 😀

Love this... I could eat my body weight in watermelon every day! And I've totally eaten my own dish - I have strict dietary habits so I always make something I can bring so I know I have something to eat!!

Me too! I usually ask if I can bring something to try to clarify there will be something I can eat!
